On Saturday, July 12, 2014 inside RFK Stadium, beer enthusiasts and festival-goers alike will come together with one commonality: to celebrate good beer at the American Beer Classic! Along with a wide variety of breweries and hundreds of beers, participants will not only discover and taste-test new beers, but also attend educational sessions, enjoy live music, and have the opportunity to purchase food and merchandise.“American Beer Classic was such a success in Chicago and we are excited to expand into DC and bring the experience to RFK Stadium,” said Amanda Hogue, American Beer Classic Director.

Registration fees begin at $50 and participants can choose between two different sessions: 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Once inside, participants can take their pick of hundreds of beers to taste with their custom American Beer Classic sampling cup. Each session is four hours, and participants have the option to upgrade to a VIP registration (starting at $70), which allows them to access the field one hour early, specialized sampling options, and preferred seating in all educational sessions offered. For those attending as a designated driver, there is a discounted registration fee as well as a lounge with alcohol-free beverage options.

RFK Stadium is easily accessible by Metrorail on the Blue and Orange lines (Stadium-Armory station) and numerous bus lines. On-site parking is also available.
